Careta Turtle trip
What a great trip! We saw a turtle in the bay, enjoyed the time to swim and relax on Marathonisi and the swim near Keri caves in the crystal clear water. The trip was well organised and very enjoyable. Thank you.

Friendly crew and lovely...
Friendly crew and lovely views, they try very hard to make sure you see the sights and turtles, even late in the season. Very skilled captain with navigating the caves. I would recommend they update the listing with some small details: we left at 9am and were back by 11.55 to pick up the next tour scheduled for 12pm, so this is a 3hr tour, not 3hr 30, but it is enough time. Also, the listing mentions a small group tour. The boat can take up to about 40 and is cramped when full, so take the early tour. The glass bottom is a cut out from the deck, you cannot go downstairs as it is a small boat. Also worth noting there is no access to toilets at any point on this trip.

Con Artists! Do not book!
****Warning***This is an absolute con do not book! They took our money confirming to pick us up from our hotel and then said it would be an additional €40 to collect us from our hotel!! This was not stated to us when selecting the pickup. Book with another service.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zakynthos.
How much does Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip) cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zakynthos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip) take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zakynthos is not rushed.
Is Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 94 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zakynthos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip)?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zakynthos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zakynthos and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Caretta - Caretta Turtle Trip (Glass bottom Boat Trip) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zakynthos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zakynthos?
+
On Outty we rank every Zakynthos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ceramic Making Experience in Zakynthos, Half-Day Greek Cooking Class of Zakynthian Culture with Lunch, Zakynthos Turtle Tour Small Group Turtle Spotting & Turtle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zakynthos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zakynthos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
